All good points -- and reasons why maybe enforcement is not the best option for MUT's. That's why I like the idea of signs that say "Fast cyclists use road." It appeals to people's vanity.

Of course, a lot of people think that the whole reason for trails is to get cyclists off the road, so encouraging them to get on the road may not be popular!
